What's a 763?


Boeing 767-300.


A Boeing 767-300 is a B763.

Assuming the original poster meant B763 is not unreasonable.
People
say/post 744 or 733 and have it interpreted to Boeing 747-400 or
Boeing 737-300 all the time. Not saying it's technically correct,
or
even right to do, but even I'm not that pedantic in the absense of
similar designators to confuse it with...

Even though I knew what he ment, if you look at it he is dislexic.

Correctly and common is: 673

Whatever, 763 is how the aircraft is described in airline schedules.
Boeings are 7*7, the last 7 is redundant and replaced by the first
number of the variant.

Everywhere outside this post I have seen the first 7 dropped. Perhaps
you
are banging the bong a little hard?

Why yes, perhaps you are?

FAAO 7340.1? http://www1.faa.gov/atpubs/cnt/5-2.htm - FAA list of
equipment designators? I know that's what's used when filing flight
plans.

Try again, that page is a loser for you.
